Ingredients:
8–10 slices of bacon
Optional: black pepper, a little honey or maple syrup (for sweet flavor)
👨🍳 Instructions:
Start with a cold pan
Place the bacon strips in a skillet (don’t overlap too much). Starting cold helps render the fat slowly.
Cook on medium heat
Turn the heat to medium. Let the bacon cook slowly, flipping occasionally.
Flip and crisp
After about 5–8 minutes, flip the slices. Continue cooking until golden brown and crispy.
Adjust texture
For softer bacon: cook less time
For extra crispy: cook a bit longer on low heat
Drain
Remove and place on paper towels (like in your image) to absorb excess grease.
✨ Optional Flavor Ideas:
Sprinkle a little black pepper while cooking
Brush with honey or maple syrup for sweet-glazed bacon
Add a pinch of smoked paprika for extra flavor
🔥 Alternative (Oven Method):
Preheat oven to 200°C
Place bacon on a tray lined with parchment paper
Bake for 15–20 minutes until crispy
Drain on paper towels.
